   Atoms Athletics Recap
Golf played in rain Monday in the National District Championship Tournament at Twin Lakes. The weather was off and on all day but the Atoms played well with their highest team finish of 5th place in several years. Cole Cardwell, Carter Demers, and Quinn Mongold all qualified for the Occoquan Region Golf Tournament that will take place Monday at Twin Lakes Golf Course.
Girls Volleyball held their annual Dig Pink night Tuesday evening vs Falls Church. It was a great night of raising money for Breast Cancer and an exciting night of volleyball. All three Atoms teams played hard and gave Falls Church a fight but fell short in their games. The Atoms hit the road for their next game at Hayfield Monday.
Boys Volleyball lost a heartbreak to Hayfield Monday evening. The Atoms lost the first set only to run through the Hawks in set 2 and 3 to take a 2-1 lead into the fourth set. In the fourth set, the Atoms held a 16-12 advantage before the Hawks got a hot streak to win the fourth set and carried it into the fifth set to get the win. The Atoms travel to Justice Tuesday evening.
Field Hockey dominated their only game of the week Monday evening at Lewis. The Atoms held a 2-0 lead at the half and scored 3 more times in the second half to get the 5-0 win over the Lancers. Next up is a date vs defending district champion Hayfield Monday evening at Annandale.
Football got their much needed bye week and return to the field as they host rival Justice Thursday evening.
Boys and Girls Cross Country unfortunately had their only meet of the week postponed due to unsafe conditions. The Atoms hit the trail Wednesday as they celebrate senior night.

Atoms Boosters Concession Stand Help
Attention Parents! Volunteers are needed to sell concessions at games throughout the year, starting with fall sports Football and Volleyball. We welcome any and all parents to volunteer but when parents of a particular sport work a game, a portion of concessions sales directly benefit that team. If you are not able to help directly at home games, there are many ways you can get involved with the Atoms Athletics Boosters by attending our monthly meetings or being a team liaison. Thank you for your support for Atom’s Athletics!
For questions about concession stand sign ups, contact Odessa Murray.
